Tendulkar's 199th turned out to be something spectacular for India but the big one is coming up on 14th, November. The last of this series and the one that will bring the curtains down on a stupendous career. Sachin Tendulkar playing his last Test on his home ground is something we know you simply wouldn't miss. Join us here for that as we bring you the best coverage we can for The 200th. Cheers and goodbye until then.

Rohit: "It was really worth it. It can't get better than this. It is such a memorable Test and we are really proud. We (Ashwin and himself) wanted to bat till we get enough lead. We just wanted to stick in and capitalise on the loose balls. We ran very well and rotated the strike regularly. I mentioned that today morning was going to be important. We wanted to take enough lead and put them under pressure. That's exactly what happened. The bowlers did a fantastic job. I really love the Eden Gardens. The crowd is always fantastic and I'm going to take back something special today."

Rohit Sharma is the Man of the Match for his brilliant 177.

MS Dhoni: "This was a fantastic performance. I felt the 2nd day was the worst day to bat. As it went on, despite a few spots, it was easy to bat on as the ball came on slower. Shami bowled in great lengths and lines. He has very good seam positioning. That's the reason he got 9 wickets. He's able to swing it both ways. You have to believe in destiny. Rohit was set to make his debut long before but he injured his ankle at Nagpur and missed out. He is enjoying his cricket now and is taking a lot more responsibility. If your 8, 9 and 10 can contribute, it helps a lot. Ashwin can bat like a batsman. He batted very well with Rohit. He bowled beautifully too and it helps others as well if you are not giving away runs."

Sammy: "We keep singing the same song. We keep getting ourselves in good positions in Test matches but we give it away. Even when India was batting, we were in a good position for a while. Getting bowled out in less than 60 overs is never any good for a Test side. One of our goals is to bat long and last beyond the 2nd new ball. Shillingford bowled very well. He's able to bowl long spells. We have to improve, myself included. We thought two spinners was the way to go here. We will look at it and come up with the best combination for Mumbai."

Sachin Tendulkar is being felicitated with a shawl and being presented with some mementos by the chief minister of West Bengal. Sourav Ganguly 'crowns' (with a turban) Sachin as the crowd goes delirious.

Ashwin: "It's a great ground. It has a great history for Indian cricket. I have batted well here but I was not aware of the record (he has the best batting average at Eden Gardens). I am happy to perform better. I was batting nicely and as the ball started to come on the bat, I improved. We just reminded ourselves that once we cross the milestones, we will keep on enjoying. I had a lot of fun with Rohit out there. I am happy with my bowling as well. Got some good inputs from Duncan (Fletcher) and Joey (Dawes). I just put them to use and the results showed."
